i. Hymn.
[Him whom the Earth, the Sea, and Sky]
Him whom the Earth, the Sea, and Sky
Worship, adore, and magnify,
And doth this threefold Engine steer,
Mary's pure Closet now doth bear.
Worship, adore, and magnify,
And doth this threefold Engine steer,
Mary's pure Closet now doth bear.
Whom Sun and Moon, and Creatures all,
Serving at Times, obey his Call;
Pouring from Heaven his Sacred Grace,
I' th' Virgin's Bowels hath ta'ne Place.
Serving at Times, obey his Call;
Pouring from Heaven his Sacred Grace,
I' th' Virgin's Bowels hath ta'ne Place.
Mother most blest by such a Dower,
Whose Maker, Lord of highest Power,
Who this wide World in Hand contains,
In thy Womb's Ark himselfe restrains.
Whose Maker, Lord of highest Power,
Who this wide World in Hand contains,
In thy Womb's Ark himselfe restrains.
Blest by a Message from Heaven brought,
Fertile with Holy Ghost full fraught;
Of Nations the desired King,
Within thy Sacred Womb doth spring.
Fertile with Holy Ghost full fraught;
Of Nations the desired King,
Within thy Sacred Womb doth spring.
Lord, may Thy Glory still endure,
Who born wast of a Virgin pure;
The Father's and the Sp'rit's of Love,
Which endless Worlds may not remove.
Who born wast of a Virgin pure;
The Father's and the Sp'rit's of Love,
Which endless Worlds may not remove.
